The following is a brief list of web-based resources and books that will help student affairs, administrators, and health promotion professionals better understand the ways in which health is interrelated with student development and student learning in general, as well as how health promotion efforts can advance the core academic mission of institutions of higher learning.  This list is by no means comprehensive; rather, it is meant to provoke inquiry, reflection, dialogue, and analysis.
